Psychiatric Comorbidity and Demographic Characteristics of 1,000 Children and Adolescents With ADHD in Turkey

“…There are many studies that have reported more than half of ADHD cases have at least one psychiatric comorbidity, and this rate increases with age (Gau et al, 2010; Jensen, Martin, & Cantwell, 1997; Yüce Zoroğlu, Ceylan, Kandemir, & Karabekiroğlu, 2013). Studies have shown that 54% to 84% of children and adolescents with ADHD may meet the criteria for oppositional defiant disorder (ODD); a significant portion of these patients will develop conduct disorder (CD; Ercan, Ardic, Kutlu, & Durak, 2012; Faraone, Biederman, Jetton, & Tsuang, 1997). ADHD and ODD are among the most common psychiatric disorders of childhood in either the community or clinical samples (Ghanizadeh, 2009; Willcutt et al, 2012).…”

Long-Term Efficacy of Methylphenidate Immediate-Release for the Treatment of Childhood ADHD

“…In one study (Klein, Abikoff, Hechtman, & Weiss, 2004), data were collected just for the first year, as patients were switched to placebo in the second year. Only three studies had available data for parents and teachers in all ADHD symptom domains: Multimodal Treatment of ADHD study (MTA Cooperative Group, 1999), Ercan et al (Ercan, Ardic, Kutlu, & Durak, 2014; Ercan, Varan, & Deniz, 2005; MTA Cooperative Group, 1999), and Yildiz et al (Yildiz Oc et al, 2007). In addition, seven studies (Chazan et al, 2011; Ercan et al, 2014; Ercan et al, 2005; Klein et al, 2004; MTA Cooperative Group, 1999; Schachar, Tannock, Cunningham, & Corkum, 1997; Tsai et al, 2013; Yildiz Oc et al, 2007) provided data for the domain H/I rated by parents (only).…”
